Sample Book Insights:

#1 I have always been a neat freak. In 2014, I started losing things. The first item to go missing was my green tank top, which was the only green tank top I owned. I searched through the stacks of other tank tops and T-shirts, but couldn't find my green tank top.

#2 The same way I used to think I should stop using my credit cards, or I should stop binging on junk food, or I should stop drinking so much, I would always tell myself that I would do it one day.

#3 I was done with searching through all the things I didn’t need to find the one thing I did. I wanted to add some black beans to a salad, but I couldn’t find my can opener. I searched every drawer and cupboard in the kitchen, and even looked in the recycling bin, but it was nowhere to be found.

#4 I had a uniform of sorts, which was different each year. In eighth grade, I was still going through my tomboy phase, and lived in basketball jerseys and tearaway pants. In ninth grade, I swapped the jerseys for hoodies and the tearaways for jeans. In tenth grade, I tried to dress a little more girly.
